Matt is back from his cruise where he tested the Huawei Mate 20 and ordered a One Plus 6T. Kevin ordered some Moment lenses for his iPhone XR and found that the latest Chrome OS build brings Android 9 and USB support to Linux on Chromebooks.

We start this week by remembering our friend and former co-host, James Kendrick. Next, we turn to hands-on impressions of the iPhone XR, LG V40 and Surface Pro 6 followed by some upcoming Apple hardware expectations and a Pixel Slate buyers guide.

This week, we recap the #MadeByGoogle event with very first impressions of the Pixel Slate and week’s worth of using the Pixel 3XL. Matt also took the new Sony Xperia XZ3 for a test drive through 8 states in 9 days!

Matt returned his Apple Watch but has kept the iPhone XS Max for now. Kevin’s wife gets her first smartwatch for work reasons and Google’s WearOS 2 looks good. The Pixel Slate may join the Pixelbook in dual booting into Windows 10.

Matt has his Apple Watch 4 but still waits on his iPhone XS Max while Kevin tries to get DIGITS going on two phones and a watch. We recap all of the new Amazon Echo devices and the latest Chromebook news, including a first look at the Nocturne Chrome tablet.
